I agree with the brew man,,, I have a strong feeling about Phalen,,,, Circular is a wheel a link could be a lock... wheelock the east side of the park is not o.k it is homes the west side is o,k There are alot of duels there,,, It's Phalen Keller.. 2 parks but not at Keller 2 golf courses,,, and Circular also means some thing has come full circle

the statue of the ice castle is there,, 100 years thay would be full circle any other thoughts????????????

Cougar - yes and the interpretations can be harmful, don't listen and/or believe all that you hear

I believe that once again this year the park will be a small one, like it was in 1999. All regional parks, such as Battle Creek will be eliminated

Terry- My hubby's b-day is tomorrow, so I think I will have a hard time dragging him out. But I have to go get a suitcase tomorrow that the airline just found, so maybe I can convince him we need to do a drive by. Some people just don't get the obsession. I tell ya.

The 1995 clues (when it was at battle creek) do not look like our clues

Terry

Before we were married, it was a given that he'd hunt with me. My mom had hunted for years when we were growing up and I loved deciphering the clues with her. We're now in the middle of our 31st hunt together.

Happy Birthday to Mr. Diggin' Queen!

Look back to the clues in that year when it was at conway (cougars). It stated that year it was going to be harder than usually, that time by being in a new park. Now, it is also going to be a harder duel.

Hi Terry Whats Up!

Like the next clue, been gone. Steve says Hi!, hopes to see you guys at the dig. When you see him be sure to call him Uncle Buck.

Hi Maureen! We better see you at the hunt and hi to Steve! Why Uncle Buck?

Sue-Butt, my husband and I moved to Las Vegas this past May... I'm still enjoying the treasure hunt tradition though... I've never missed the hunt and I don't intend to start!

coug's eastview is a tiny park, it'd only take a hundred people to dig through that park

At conway, one of the clues talks about a man of fame. Other then that, nothing strikes me.

cougar, VIEW and EAST aren't in the same clue

Eastview is so small and hidden, I don't think the paper would have suspected anyone except neighbors to have thought of it by now.

Old movie! Have to watch it sometime in order to get the true meaning.

No time for old movies now! That will have to wait till this hunt is over.

but think about it, what if we all went to east view right now and dug we'd be back by 2

I think if you play in "leaves" you'll find the dove soap bar Or this is just another reference to the playground just out of view....

If this choice leaves you depressed Playing might put a smile on your face
